Alexander of
Cappadocia.
————————————
Translator’s Biographical
Notice.
[a.d.
170–233–251.] Alexander was at first bishop of a
church in Cappadocia, but on his visiting Jerusalem he was appointed to
the bishopric of the church there, while the previous bishop Narcissus
was alive, in consequence of a vision which was believed to be
divine.1227

been born about a.d. 121. Might have
known Polycarp.] | During
the Decian persecution he was thrown into prison at Cæsarea, and
died there,1228

[He was a pupil of Pantænus, continued under Clement, and
defended Origen against the severity of Demetrius. Two dates
which are conjectural are adjusted to these facts. I find it
difficult to reconcile them with those implied by
Eusebius.] | E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
